How To Make Your Red Sweater Not Look Like A Christmas Sweater

People tend to associate red sweaters with the holiday season. The horror of ugly sweater parties, the prevalence of candy canes and the image of a certain huge white-bearded man in an all-red ensemble—these things all transport people back to that end-of-year period when red is the reigning shade. But we’re maintaining that, with red crew neck sweaters, it’s always the season to be jolly.

Read on as we show you just how you can prove the naysayers wrong by making your red crew neck sweater the mainstay of an everyday ensemble.

Tip #1

Don’t dress up your sweater with too many accessories, to avoid that overly-decorated Christmas sweater look. Simple embellishments like a delicate pendant or stud earrings will do. Match them with a red crew neck sweater that’s equally plain, for a classic look that’s wearable year-round.

Tip #2

Another way to show your red sweater isn’t just for the holiday season? Pair it with a mini skirt and sandals that definitely have no place in the cold festive months. A striped red crewneck sweater worn with a flouncy mini skirt and gladiator sandals will do just the trick. Enjoy your day out in the sun without worrying that people think you’ve just arrived from Lapland.

Tip #3

If you insist on wearing an embellished red sweater but don’t want to give off a Christmas vibe, then we have a solution for you. Pair your red crewneck sweater with bottoms that are equally as laidback as a miniskirt, like cool and casual boyfriend jeans.

Tip #4

Or, if you’re really shying away from the jolly nature of a bright red sweater, opt for one in a darker shade, like burgundy, that definitely doesn’t look festive. Be bold enough to even pair it with white jeans, without any fear whatsoever of resembling a candy cane.

Now that you know how to pull off a red crew neck sweater without looking like a blast from the past, wear one with confidence and ease knowing that you’re wearing one of the most trendy sweaters around.

There’s nothing nostalgic or ironic about a red crew neck sweater.
